Selections elevates artists from the SF Open Studios circle into a more visible place of honor. ArtSpan produces the exhibition as a vehicle to launch emerging artists' careers as well as to nurture established artists by presenting their work to the art-interested public.

Work from over 150 artists were reviewed by notable Bay Area collectors who then selected these four artists to be exhibited at ArtPadSF.

It is ArtPadSF's mission to serve new-on-the-scene galleries as well as highly regarded established galleries to introduce them to new collectors and audiences through our innovative programming and performances, collector tours, video screenings, installations, special events and panels. In ArtPadSF 2012 we will host 40 exciting national and international galleries.

Each room at the Phoenix Hotel offers visitors a focused viewing experience as they work their way from courtyard to room to suite. As a host for ArtPadSF, the Phoenix offers an experience like no other, and the opportunity for guests to take a piece of it home.
